Farmer_Dave Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Had a phone call from a good mate at 9 pm tonight. Said get yer arse down yer mate (local pub) Got 4 fellas at the bar flying them things you fly, but from John O' groats to lands End. So I jumped in the car and popped down to meet Henry Glasse, John Caston and tother 2 who's names escape me (sorry boys) and had a pint with them. They made Manchester to Mid Devon today ! Pretty good stretch I reckon, and started at JOG on Sunday. Lands End tomorrow perhaps ? Good luck chaps and safe trip. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 They have been blessed with good weather and a substantial Northerly tailwind which certainly helps, good luck guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surrey-dad Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks for the link Dan - they really chose the right week to fly this route ! Is there any further information or blog giving more information on the actual route they took, flight times, some of the challenges they faced, how their equipment performed etc. ?

helimed01 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Well that explains a lot. My wife phoned me the other day saying two paramotors had just flown over our house heading west. With very few paramotorists here in Cornwall I wondered who it was. Great. No fun when its too easy tho. You need to try it in the worst weather (wettest summer) on record!!! Whitters.

Guest Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Whitters, During my recent trip to Penzance, I watched 4 Paramotor pilots head up the west, my dad recons it's just that no one wants to fly with you. LOL They ARE there though, so who are you.....??? were you flying north west on Friday at about 11:20 hrs.?? SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
